{"product_id":"yearbook-of-ancient-greek-epic-9789004398511","title":"Yearbook of Ancient Greek Epic","description":"Volume 3 of \u003ci\u003eYearbook of Ancient Greek Epic\u003c\/i\u003e explores interconnections between the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNostoi\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eTelegony\u003c\/i\u003e of the Epic Cycle, a collection of lost early Greek epics. The \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e is situated between the narrative time of the two Cycle poems, with the \u003ci\u003eNostoi\u003c\/i\u003e narrating the returns of heroes after the Trojan War and the \u003ci\u003eTelegony\u003c\/i\u003e narrating Odysseus’s adventures after his return to Ithaca. The six articles that follow the introduction compare and contrast the three epics, employing different methodologies and reaching divergent conclusions. Topics include pre-Homeric mythological traditions, the potential for intertextuality between orally performed epics, and the flexible boundaries of early epics.","brand":"Jonathan Burgess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310203515131,"sku":"9789004398511","price":151.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004398511.jpg?v=1772491323","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/yearbook-of-ancient-greek-epic-9789004398511","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
